The walk-in guide

A place for
everything.

Plan a walk-in wardrobe that fits your room and the way you use it. Start with your space, then choose your storage.

Start planning

Simple layouts. Flexible components. Your space.

Three things to plan.

A little measuring makes a big difference.

  1. Measure the room

    Note each wall’s length and height. Mark doors, windows and anything that needs to stay clear.

  2. Leave room to move

    Allow 550–600 mm for hanging clothes and aim for a 1000 mm clear walkway. Check that drawers can open fully.

  3. Choose your storage

    Mix hanging rails, drawers and shelves to suit your clothes, shoes and everyday essentials.

The finer details

A few common questions.

Keep the planning simple.

Can I change the tower size?

Our walk-in kits use standard 1950 mm high towers and the dimensions shown in each kit. If you need custom tower sizes, order individual components: heights from 1200–2400 mm and widths up to 800 mm are available, with a fixed depth of 445 mm.

What should go in a corner?

Hanging space often works well in a corner. Keep nearby drawers clear of clothes so they can open fully.

Can I see the finishes first?

Visit our showroom Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–3:30 PM at 45 Fairview Street, Springvale to view products and materials.
